I have a question: What should I update on EAC3to so that it correctly detects the bit depth (on AC3 and DTS)? Libav?

Hi, I have a CD DTS theater which is in DTS-ES : Corpse Bride in French. ES was therefore for home video, and theaters.

ES was and still is on home releases

DTS-ES was theatrical but matrixed the same as Dolby EX

Was DTS-ES a Theatrical sound format like Dolby Digital EX was? Or was it home video only?

Criterion post LD have never been perfect

@Chewtobacca Thanks.

Even Criterion isn't perfect.

@titanic Read the comments on Moshrom's blog. It's the best that's available. I bought the Criterion BD partly because of it. It's just that it should sound better. https://blah-ray.blogspot.com/search/lab...%281975%29

^^^ Regarding the 2.69:1, I know the story behind it, but it still looks awesome, and I value the old R1 DVD for it.

The 2.69 AR was awesome, it gave an epic feel to the film!

What is wrong with Criterion's Barry Lyndon mono audio? I was thinking of buying that...

According to DVDbeaver, the 2.69 AR was meant for director John Sturges to mess around with to frame a 2.35 image in post.

@Moshrom Yeah, it's the pre-SE MGM R1 DVD, the one with the very wide AR (2.69:1 according to dvdcompare.net). It sounds all right, from what I remember, but it's been a while since I listened to it. I'll fish it out at the weekend.

To be fair, the only Kubrick on DVD that is master supervised are the original R1 box set LD ports (complete with original mixes), and the R2 EWS Snapcase open matte uncensored. The rest are just revisions on a master work.

Is that the R1 DVD from 1998 - how does it sound? Stephonovich will probably be capturing the Criterion LD once he sorts out his new bit-perfect setup.

Almost certainly. It **might** end up being the "Barry Lyndon" situation, in which the Criterion mono, although not brilliant, is the best of a bad bunch. I'm still hanging on to the original R1 DVD, partly for the AR.

Too much to hope for, everything above 10khz is getting wiped.

Yeah, let's hope the mono escapes the customary Criterion treatment.

The Great Escape is getting the Criterion treatment in May. A new 4K remaster with the original mono.

Kind of you to say CSchmidlapp

@PDB Your projects have shown there is more to res projects than just the upscaling

DVDFab have a version of it included with there ripping software also.

But hopefully it will democratize upscaling

I guess I wasted a LOT of time going frame by frame

Thanks for the heads up CSchmidlapp

I think that shot had crew and equipment visable in 4:3 but not in the widescreen version. Warner probably wanted to make that shot tighter in the new transfer so that it wouldn't reveal any crew or equipment blunders in 4:3 or 1.78.

Bet they did it just to mess with us!

the colour grading is diffferent as well https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?go=1&a=0&...95&i=5&l=0

Maybe there is something wrong on the top of the initial scan?

Looks like Warner zoomed in and DNR'd that shot in particular when they made the new master. Why DNR and cropping is anyone's guess, considering they're not well known for that as are Universal.

Anyone aware of the BD transfer fault for Tequila Sunrise during the third act of the film? Check it out compared to the Russian HDTV cap https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?d1=3628&d...=7&l=0&a=1

Good thing: free Wi-Fi in every bar, restaurant and such...

Have a good one MrBrown

Thanks... Sitting in the train to the airport right now... Seems if german train is just 5 minutes late... So it is called punctual for trains...

I miss the original Star Tours.

Have a good time, MrBrown!

so guys.. I am off to some vacations... more than 2 weeks up up and away.. maybe I have internet on my mobile phone to, at least check sometimes in...

The first 2 are new masters, the others are upscaled from the 2K DI with better encoding, but 4 has some terrible (probably HDR related) blow outs

They re not new masters on the 4k potters

It's a guy who does 1080p SDR encodes from some HDR UHD stuff

Any what?

You could try and see if there are any SWTYBLZ encodes

Does anyone know if I can find downscales of the 4K transfers of the Harry Potter films?

Fight Club was an early 5.1EX mix

Had Fight Club a new mix for home theatrical releases? On the German BD with the DTS-ES 6.1 Audio it is explicitly mentioned that it is the original theatrical mix.

at least on eBay someone seems to sell a full screen version https://www.ebay.de/itm/362872596219

Have the Harry Potter movies not been given remastered Blu-rays?

I'm also looking to find a DVD of Breathless, the remake with Richard Gere, where the open matte original 4/3 DVD version is said to feature extra nudity But those don't seem to be available in used stores.

That's interesting. I'm wondering if an IMAX like composite would be possible. I'm going to track down a copy, the P&S DVD goes for pretty cheap.

I'm pretty sure the credits+opening title sequences on the Brosnan films were shot Super 35, so they could be shown in 4:3 without cutting off names or vertically squeezing. Die Another Day allegedly had some sequences shot in Super 35 such as the helicopter shots, and apparently the CG FX shots were rendered in 1.78.

Looks fine to me: https://imgur.com/UdvB16S.png

Mostly on the left side, if I recall. To the point where it just says "OTHER DAY".

When I rented that one a couple years ago, I recall most of the feature being notoriously cropped.

Does anyone has ever bought Die Another Day 007 DVD in full screen? I'm trying to find out if it's open matte, or just cropped. Thank you.

They've predicted everything!

Hah, didn't realize they had predicted Fox would be bought: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ltQ_2by2UY

I'm sure we will find out this has all been predicted in the Simpsons at some point

Despite the fact that it's now the 21st Century?

So they're calling it 20th Century Pictures again?

Disney has zero respect for anything, nothing new

It’s a shame

We aren’t losing the 20th Century part just the Fox part

True but the name Fox from Fox film goes back over a hundred

Not quite over a hundred - 20th Century Fox was created in the '30s with the merger of 20th Century Pictures and Fox Film

Thus ending a studio name more than a hundred years old

Disney is removing the name fox from 20th Century Fox

The original release is pretty bad. I did a quick colour correction on it myself because is looked so bad but I never rendered it out as a final video.

There are 2 versions of Knock Off available in Germany There was a 'remastered' one released recently. Ive not seen it but I read it uses the same master just altered / improved upon.

There is only a german Blu

Love that movie. Tsui Hark rules!

Anyone familiar with the movie Knock Off with Van Damme? Apparently it has no Blu-Ray. At least no Blu-Ray released in the United States. The picure quality is awful. It definitely needs a remaster

@Chewtobacca Thanks.

Once you start participating you can start PMing

Hi MrTroidex. You can’t PM since you are currently at lurker level

Why I can't send pm for anyone?

I also confirm. Team Blu have used the remastered BR for their release. My go-to since then.

@CSchmidlapp yes it was my go to for a while, but tbh I haven't really watched it at home since catching it on 35mm

Oh, sorry. But, where i can get?

@MrTroidex. Hi bud. Have a quick read of the forum rules

Anyone could send me the download link for best version of The Terminator (1984) pm, please?

I am searching for the relevant informations, too. I also thought it was pre-remaster. But I also might be wrong on that. Time is speed-running by.

Is Team blu your go to zoidberg?

The Team Blu version I got was in 2014 so you might be right. Always was under the impression it pre-dated the Remastered BD for some reason! Perhaps Im getting confused with release's. EDIT: Im re reading the team blu threads.

Guys I'm watching the Team Blu and it's definitely based on the remastered blu. Are we talking about the same project?

Although it worth noting that the remasterd (4K) Blu is considered theatrically accurate. Just have to mux the synced mono to it.

Yes the Team Blu release is from an earlier master. My (new) go to version is by Dek Rollins. https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/The-Te...412/page/1

I thought the Team Blu release used the remastered blu ray but with colour correction

Personally I still can say, that IO like the Team Blu release, because it had the mono audio. https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Termin...s/id/17330 but it is really hard to say "it is the best" because the video souce they used got outdated by the newer official BluRay master release.

Hi! Which is the best version of The Terminator (1984)?

@Evit IT'S WHAT IT IS

Has anyone posted this video with clips from Scorsese's The Irishman with the actors' faces "de-aged" with DeepFake? People in the comments are already begging for the whole film done this way https://youtu.be/dyRvbFhknRc

Happy 2020!

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Merry Christmas!
